The Sickness of our Political Process

The sickness of our political process is the result of one single delusion, a bad idea shared equally by both the left and right. Let's start here: Imagine going to a hospital and noticing that none of the medical staff seemed old enough to grow a mustache. Imagine being told that the hospital had been listening to the public and brought in fresh new faces, a fresh new look to meet the medical needs of the fresh new community. The first thing you'd think is, "Yes, but where's the skill? Where's the voice of experience?" Bad analogy, you say, because, really, there is not that much skill involved in running a government.
